εἰσὶ δὲ ἔνιοι Βυβλίων οἳ λέγουσι παρὰ σφίσι τεθάφθαι τὸν Ὄσιριν τὸν Αἰγύπτιον, καὶ τὰ πένθεα καὶ τὰ ὄργια οὐκ ἐς τὸν Ἄδωνιν ἀλλʼ ἐς τὸν Ὄσιριν πάντα πρήσσεσθαι. ἐρέω δὲ καὶ ὁκόθεν καὶ τάδε πιστὰ δοκέουσι. κεφαλὴ ἑκάστου ἔτεος ἐξ Αἰγύπτου ἐς τὴν Βύβλον ἀπικνέεται πλώουσα τὸν μεταξὺ πλόον ἑπτὰ ἡμερέων, καί μιν οἱ ἄνεμοι φέρουσι θείῃ ναυτιλίῃ· τρέπεται δὲ οὐδαμά, ἀλλʼ ἐς μούνην τὴν Βύβλον ἀπικνέεται. καὶ ἔστι τὸ σύμπαν θωῦμα. καὶ τοῦτο ἑκάστου ἔτεος γίγνεται, τὸ καὶ ἐμεῦ παρεόντος ἐν Βύβλῳ ἐγένετο· καὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν ἐθεησάμην Βυβλίνην.
